    c/n 1 {2}, c/r N43SJ
    Jen Sharp had a large crew including Cecil Ripe and several Bills and was experimenting with propellers. This is currently a popular pastime in Fl since metal props are no longer allowed for saftey reasons. Race plane buffs were quick to notice the airspeed pitot had been moved from the wing to the left wheel pant. When questioned, Sharp admitted that this speed secret added several mi les/hour to the indicated airspeed due to propeller effects.
